You know how the Mane Six don't always adhere to their elements? Is that really a bad thing or does it show how the ponies can be more layered than just being defined by their element? Granted some could show said character traits more often (here's lookin' at you, Dashie) but I don't think them not being just that element should be seen as bad.

I don't think it's possible for anyone to fully adhere to those elements, I mean no one's perfect.

That's a very good point. I think that the writers are trying to make the point that although the Mane 6 represent the Elements of Harmony, that doesn't exactly mean that they always conform to them. The morale is that nobody is perfect, and I like how Fallout Equestria portrays the choosing of the new Elements as being even less than perfect. It helps create the idea that the elements show a bit of leniency in choosing their respective bearers, proving that positions of power are often rewarded to those who are less than perfect for the job. In the case of Congress, that's pretty much everyone.

I guess the only one I would really want to see become an Alicorn is Fluttershy. I want to see her gain a massive confidence boost, and that would be one way to do it. Alicorn would boost Rarity or Rainbow Dash's egos so much that i don't even consider it. Pinky Pie wouldn't really care, and Applejack doesn't need it.

Dash doesn't have a big ego! MOTHER OF GLOB.

And AJ/Pinkie couldn't be an alicorn, they're Earth Ponies. Don't they need to be at least one or the other to be an alicorn?

She'd probably be too terrified to leave the house from all the attention. She couldn't handle being a model or a member of the Weather Team. Suddenly becoming a Princess would push her anxiety level up to 11. I guess she'll come out the house after the first 500 years. When the Milk runs out and she needs to make market.

... but for serious it could be interesting as a 1-2 parter.

All Ponies are capable of using Magic. Their Elements wouldn't respond to them if they couldn't.

I have a feeling that could be an interesting 2 parter if played well. Although seriously, I hope they use Discord to bring more confidence into Fluttershy this coming season. He's exactly the sort of thing that could force her to stand up to him constantly.

I'm not sure if I'd like that, or at least this season. The reason being that a lot of Fluttershy's character revolves around her being shy, and without that, we'd have basically whole new Pegasus on or hands. I wouldn't mind if it was temporary, (but not another Iron Will/Putting your Hoof Down episode) or even she stands up for the last episode(s).

I completely agree that Celestia gets a lot more hate than she deserves, but due to misinterpretation of her actions and desicions, it's much easier to choose Celestia as a punching bag than most other characters. No matter how much anyone defends Trollestia, she will be hated against. It's already happened, and there's no stopping it. It happens all the time in fandoms; some character gets sh*t on for no reason because they made a few mistakes or they're just easy to hate.

I'll admit it; I'm one of those people. I just plain don't like Princess Celestia. I think it has something to do with her portrayal against her prior actions. She seems like the character in need of humbling the most compared to the cast around her but it's unlikely she'll ever get knocked down that far. Not seeing her learn and grow with the rest of the cast makes her kind of distant and unlikable.

I hope they use Discord to bring more confidence into Fluttershy this coming season.

I do, too. I think the dynamic can work well with Discord teetering between being an ally and doing what he wants and Fluttershy keeping him in line like the Misses.

Recently, someone has been trolling my .Ask account because I'm a Brony. I've been dealing with them by not getting angry with them. In fact, I'm laughing at them. I don't really hate them because, really, I use to be a bit of an anti-Brony in the past. I kinda understand their hatred, and it's actually kind of amusing to me to be on the hated side of this.

But really, I don't see the point of any describing wether the episode may be good or not until we see it. It could be complete sh*t for all we know. But I do have high hopes for the episode. There's a lot hanging on this episode, especially after the reactions to EQG and Twilicorn. Everyone knows it, and the people working on the how know that too. Of course, there I the off chance that they don't care and end up doing what they want to because there is nothing in their contracts saying that they have to cater to the Bronies.
